Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glazing silicone in Ardleigh Green
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are glass-to-glass joints that have split and water running down inside the glass.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Ardleigh Green.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What glazing silicone looks like in Ardleigh Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hare Hall (about 0.3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Ardleigh Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Ardleigh Green Junior School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. As a London address, Ardleigh Green can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardleigh Green
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. In Ardleigh Green, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Common questions in Ardleigh Green
Do you cover Ardleigh Green for glazing silicone?
Yes, Ardleigh Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gidea Park station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you need glazing silicone in Ardleigh Green?
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Letting a property close to Gidea Park station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
